Analysis/Interpretation
In Jackson’s My Body adolescent, pubicent, discovery emerges with each click of the mouse. Discovery takes on a completely unexpected life of it’s own as the narrative develops. The awarness of the specifics of the body leap from the image into words of discovery, sexuality, and fear. Emerging with a sense of human body obsession with a coming of age young woman. The discovery also metamorphises into confusing realities of “sameness” that connect all pre-teens (ie “Playboy”). Are You There God, It’s Me Margret is a coming of age novel connected with discover and the young girl in the narrative of Jackson’s story connects in some way to the diaglogue of that novel. What becomes apparent in this narrative is the lack of attention on the image to the head. Not one single “outline” or “chaulk like” presence exist in the head of the image. The eyes tell a story in a “Alice and Wonderland” type of existence, which is “insufficient existence”. Twenty-eight tatoos on the body represents some type of fear or shaming and connect the “virtual” tatoo obession to hiding the true discovery of the body in it’s likeness, “I teach my lovers to read them” and the importance of only lover’s understanding the map.
